Hi Rachel, I'm sorry you are experiencing similar! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> It seems the gut can be heaviliy involved in any infection, or become suseptible. One doc even suggested that the wet gangrene in my jaw that he detected on his EAV, was actually energetically connected to the gut region which would explain what was happening to me (so he said).

But again it is about proper diagnosis in order to get the attention and treatment and nothing shows up enough to warrant any dentist or oral surgeon doing this kind of job.

It is pretty invasive in a way because the have to open the sites up in the mouth, clean out any gunk and anything left behind from tooth extraction and obviously scrape the bone to stimulate proper bone growth and then stitch the site up again afterwards. This in itself is still no guarantee that things will improve or that things won't get even worse (which they can). Some have to have multiple surgeries and some have been messed up completely by it.

So it scares me. You're kind of damned if you do and damned if you dont with so many of these problems.

You have something different from me, but obviously causing a similar reaction in the gut. The gut also causes brain symptoms, as they associate immunity with the gut as well.

So it's no wonder there are people on here who are seriously sick because they are no doubt battling multiple problems at once. If it is more than mercury? Chelation may not yield results or may only do so to a point and go no further.

But again is it a long term mercury poisoned system that is the reason why infections like this have been able to gain a foothold in the first place?

Anyway, thanks Rachel, I hope you feel better soon too. I'm thinking about getting some DMSA for this recent hit with mercury vapor from the dental office. I can't honestly stand much more of these symptoms. And it's helped me once before, so maybe it will do so again.
